Setting standards for autonomous driving

Ahead of next week's Symposium on the Future Networked Car, ITU News caught up with Chaesub Lee, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau, to learn more about the need for international standards to driving digital transformation in the automotive industry. What are the key issues to be discussed at next week's symposium? One key focus will be the discussion of where we stand today and what it will take, going forward, for connected cars and autonomous driving to earn public trust. We will look at automotive cybersecurity, with regulators sharing insight into new regulations from the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) on Cybersecurity (UN Regulation 155) and Software Updates (UN Regulation 156). We will also look at people's current perceptions and future expectations about autonomous driving.
